This document discusses organizational change and innovation through the lens of technological change. It defines organizational change as the transformation and development within an organization, including changes to structure, work methods, or culture. A key driver of change is organizational innovation, or the implementation of new creative ideas. The document uses technology as a model, explaining that a new technology is initially introduced through innovation, may develop a dominant design if successful, and faces incremental changes until being replaced by a newer technology in its life cycle according to an S-curve pattern of growth and decline.
Case Study On The Danish Wind Energy SystemBeth Johnson
While books on medieval weapons and medieval warfare explore similar concepts, they differ in their perspectives. Medieval Machine focuses on how technological innovations, like new war machines, benefited medieval society. In contrast, Medieval Warfare emphasizes how constant innovations in weapons and armor promoted further warfare, which negatively impacted society. While improvements to an army's strength helped soldiers, an endless escalation of violence harmed civilians. The books present opposing views on whether military innovations enhanced or damaged medieval life.
While Medieval Weapons and Medieval Warfare both discuss innovation in medieval times, they differ in their perspectives. The Medieval Machine views technological advancements positively as beneficial to society, while Medieval Warfare sees them negatively as perpetuating warfare. Both texts agree that innovations led to counter-innovations, like developments in armor spurring more powerful weapons. Overall, the books provide contrasting views on whether medieval innovations helped or hindered society.
The proposed research project attempts to investigate the advances of technology in the Accounting Profession. Recent developments in technology, especially information technology, may be closely associated with maximizing productivity within the accounting profession. A comprehensive examination of technological growth and its impact deserves the utmost attention to practitioners in the field, to business educators involved in the development of curriculum, students in need of up-to-date knowledge in their college education, and most importantly to external parties who may have a direct impact on the evolution of the Accounting profession. It is with thorough research, objective analysis, and information derived from various professionals, that a better understanding will be reached on the subject and that improvements will be made.

How can 'IT' improve national competitivenessMike Backhouse
This document is a student research paper that examines how information technology (IT) can improve national competitiveness. It begins with an introduction that defines national competitiveness and discusses the rise of IT. It then reviews literature on defining national competitiveness and the relationship between IT and national competitiveness. The paper develops a measure of national competitiveness and tests hypotheses about the effects of IT infrastructure, diffusion, and education policies using dynamic panel data modeling. The empirical findings suggest that IT educational policies have a significant positive impact on national competitiveness, and thus countries should focus policy efforts on upskilling their workforce through educational reform.
The essence of academic entrepreneurship application to chinhoyi university o...Alexander Decker
This document summarizes a study on academic entrepreneurship at Chinhoyi University of Technology in Zimbabwe. The study found that while university staff and administrators could recall the university's mandate to focus on technology, innovation and wealth creation, there were differences in how key terms like "technology" were interpreted. Additionally, most staff were unsure of the specific activities needed to fulfill the mandate. The study recommends adopting a process approach to academic entrepreneurship that addresses deficiencies, aligns reward systems, and improves collaboration between the university and industry to strengthen the university's focus on commercializing research.
Bridging the Gap: Intellectual Property Rights and Sustainable Development Go...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT : In today's highly developed society, start-ups are proliferating in various fields. However, most
start-up teams lack relevant management knowledge, resulting in a high failure rate. Entrepreneurial activity is a
complex social phenomenon, and businesses must integrate intellectual property rights (IPRs) management to
yield positive outcomes. This study reviews the literature on IPRs in the innovation and entrepreneurship
ecosystem. From over ahundred existing research papers, highly relevant literature was identified and analyzed
to conclude that IPRs management has contributed significantly to knowledge dissemination, sharing, and
protection among companies in the innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem. Simultaneously, companies and
universities should also take social responsibility, and contribute to the achievement of the United Nations
Sustainable Development Goals.

Korea's National Innovation System_ Andre Roland CharlesAndre Charles
South Korea's rapid economic growth from an impoverished agrarian economy to the world's 12th largest economy was underpinned by the government's strategic policy focus on building science and technology capacity. The government played a vital role in stimulating technical progress and economic expansion through Korea's national innovation system (NIS). The NIS framework views the main elements as universities, firms, and government, and their dynamic interactions that facilitate innovation and economic growth. Korea identified its strengths in human resources but weaknesses in technology and resources, and pursued a path of government-led science and technology development to transform the country from a technology immitator to a leading innovative economy.
This document reviews different models of the innovation process. It begins by discussing early linear models and their limitations in capturing the complex, interactive nature of innovation. More recent dynamic models view innovation as involving networks of actors and sources. These models reveal issues with partial views of innovation that focus only on certain stages or aspects. The document also discusses sources of discontinuity that can change the "rules of the game" and open new opportunities, challenging existing players. It provides examples like new technologies, markets, regulations, and business models that can trigger discontinuities.

This document discusses factors that influence the adoption of internet banking (IB) technologies by commercial banks in Kenya. It finds that larger banks were earlier adopters of IB, with 96% of banks with over $24 billion in assets having websites in 2006, compared to 51% of smaller banks. The study surveyed financial managers at Kenyan banks to identify factors driving and hindering IB adoption. It found that increasing bank assets, imitating early adopters, and specializing in consumer lending drove adoption, while competition, average bank age hindered it. The study recommends banks increase assets, learn from early adopters, specialize in consumer lending, and form alliances to enhance IB adoption.
Innovation for Inclusive Development Program Prospectus for 2011-2016iBoP Asia
This document outlines a program called Innovation for Inclusive Development (IID) that aims to study innovation in informal sectors in developing countries. The program goals are to understand how innovation in the informal sector can improve livelihoods and contribute to inclusive development. It will focus on the role of women and intermediaries between informal and formal sectors in activities like natural resources, services, and cultural industries. The intended outcomes are for universities in low- and middle-income countries to conduct research on innovation for inclusive development, for science granting councils to fund this research, and for governments to develop policies that encourage and support innovation for inclusive development.
The document discusses innovation and national innovation systems. It defines innovation as the implementation of new products, processes, marketing methods, or organizational methods. Innovation requires dissemination and use to have an impact. A national innovation system consists of institutions in the public and private sectors that initiate, import, modify and diffuse new technologies. It is a set of interconnected institutions that create, store and transfer knowledge to define new technologies. Policy needs to address knowledge supply and demand, interactions between institutions, and firms' ability to learn and acquire technology.

3) A nanotechnology scenario workshop to develop visions of UK success in 2006 across six application areas. The workshop aimed to identify drivers of change and actions needed.
Re|Imagine: Improving the Productivity of Federally Funded University ResearchEd Morrison
Federally funded university research provides a backbone to the US economy. But how can we improve the productivity of this research? The first step: move away from the simplistic linear model of commercialization. Second step: Embrace the new disciplines of agile strategy and ecosystems.
This document outlines a model for 21st century innovation intermediaries that aim to accelerate innovation and drive regional economic growth. It discusses how traditional technology-based economic development models are outdated and must shift focus to innovation. The proposed model centers on connecting regional talent, technologies, and resources to collaborate on innovation. It also discusses functions of innovation intermediaries in convening regions and accelerating technologies to market. The best practice of Innovation Philadelphia is provided as an example that established programs to connect the regional innovation economy and fill gaps.
The document discusses Vietnam's innovation system and proposes moving toward a product-based innovation ecosystem approach. It summarizes the current structure of Vietnam's R&D system and challenges. Specifically, it notes that R&D activities are conducted mostly in government research institutes and universities lack resources for significant R&D. The document also analyzes innovation functions and actors in the tea, fruit/vegetable, and shrimp sectors. It finds issues like limited R&D/training facilities, financial resources, and policy environment. The document proposes examining innovation at the product level using a "product-based innovation ecosystem" framework to better address institutional issues and differences between sectors.
The document discusses how technology can have both positive and negative impacts on society depending on how it is used. While technologies like automation and AI raise productivity and economic growth, they also risk job disruption and increasing inequality if not properly managed. However, the document notes that technology itself offers solutions that could help address some of these challenges, such as online training programs and job platforms to help workers transition. It presents a model to quantify the broader welfare impacts of technology beyond just GDP. Preliminary results suggest that with proactive management of transitions and a focus on innovation, technology could boost annual welfare growth in Europe and the US by 0.5-1% by 2030. However, less attention to managing transitions could slow growth and reduce improvements

Here are the key points about organismal biology:
- Organismal biology studies structure, function, ecology, and evolution at the level of the whole organism, rather than at lower levels like cells or molecules.
- Understanding animal and plant biology provides insights into how these organisms may be impacted by human activities like habitat loss or climate change.
- Knowledge of organismal biology also informs effective conservation practices by enhancing understanding of organism needs and threats.
- Studying whole organisms integrates biological function and processes across different levels from cells to populations and ecosystems.
- The field aims to understand how organisms are adapted to their environments and how they interact with other living things.

Research Question:
Understanding the factors that influence the adoption of new technologies in organisations: A Case Study of
Wearable Technology
Sub– Research Questions:
To what extent are employee attitudes a contributing factor of new technology adoptions within
organisations?
What are the main factors that influence technology adoption in an organisation?
Does wearable technology have a sustainable future within organisations?

Failed investments in technology may not only cause financial losses, but also lead to dissatisfaction
amongst employees (Venkatesh, 2000). Whilst, there exists a large amount of literature on technological
adoption, most of the research undertaken deals with this in the context of individual consumers rather than
at a firm level. Furthermore, in the case of wearable technology, the main case study of this particular
research, as a current example of a radical technological innovation, there is a lack of breadth in terms of the
literature available, which can be expected from its relative infancy. Therefore, this literature review will
serve as a treatise to not only critically analyse the seminal research in the broader field of technological
innovation and adoption, but also to extrapolate the information gathered in the context of my own research,
to provide a fresh insight on technological adoption at an organisational level, with a special interest in the
future of wearable technology at this level.
2.1.1 What is technological innovation?
According to Sagar (2013) Technology innovation is the process through which new technologies are

3. Comparison of Countries – Japan / USA / UK / Germany / China
In this report, there are five countries (Japan, the USA, the UK, Germany and China) compared at the macro
level, which is about the origin of resource, input amount on R&D, numbers of degree holders in
science and engineering, efficiency, innovative capacity index and relation to policy. The resources for
Japan's innovation is mostly from private firms, universities and public research institutes; for America it is
mainly from non–U.S. firms as well as universities (Buiges, 2009). For the UK, Germany and China, the
origin of the national innovation system is the governments of those countries.
To compare the national expenditure for R&D, this report focuses on comparing the input to R&D
as the share of the economic output of those countries. Japan has the highest share of expenditure for
R&D which has been more than 3% of the country's output since 2007 and the percentage is increasing
(Abe and Fitzgerald, 1995). The USA has a stable expenditure share between 2.5 to 3% since 1996 (Dicken,
2003). The expenditure of Germany and the UK have stayed between 1.5 to 2% since 1996. However,
China's input to R&D has risen from less than 1% in 1996 to more than 2% at the end of 2007(Sun et

As technological globalization advances and technological change progresses more quickly than ever in the
past, one of the central dimensions to gain an understanding of how Latin American countries are posed to
answer to these new challenges concerns changes in their science and innovation policy.
Developing cohesive innovation policies is one of the key challenges Brazil faces as the country strives to
emerge in the global economy characterized by quick progresses because government decision may either
encourage or hinder the Brazilian NIS .
By looking at the recent developments in the Innovation Policy framework in Brazil, the technological
efforts are clear but emerges that the problem with innovation in Brazil is the added costs associated with the
country's weak institu¬tional framework and poor legal enforcement.
The roots of Modern Brazil Innovation policy system starts during Cold War.
In 1951 Brazil sees the creation of two national agencies, the National Research Council, CNPq (today
called National Council for Scientific and Technological Development) – and CAPES with the responsibility
to coordinate the programs of postgraduate education. The system is consolidated later on with the
inauguration of Brazil's innovation agency (FINEP) in the 80s and the creation of FUNTEC the Brazilian
national fund for science and technology.
Until the '90s, the Science and Technology (S&T) policy in Brazil focused a lot on the development of

Introduction
Global business impacts in a significant way on management practices because it differs from regions and
businesses. In order to counter these management problems, the management is required to have an
integrated approach. The main implications concern the micro management aspects as well as the sectoral
management.

This is a case for social inefficiency. In this case, if charging for access excludes some would–be consumers,
the result is waste. The example of AIDS drugs illustrates this point: AIDS drugs are relatively inexpensive
to produce. They are sufficiently inexpensive to produce, that the benefits to in lives saved exceed the costs
of producing the drugs by orders of magnitude (Foray, 2010). But because of patents, no price competition is
permitted and the patent holders (the large pharmaceutical companies) charge such an enormous premium
over the cost of producing the drugs – to reap large profits from sales in rich countries – that individuals in
many countries cannot afford them. Here is an example where the overpricing has real and enormous social
costs.
Empirical analyses of historical data have emphasized the role of patent laws in creating incentives to invent,
promoting innovation, and encouraging economic growth (Khan and Sokoloff 1993; Lamoreaux and
Sokoloff 1999; Khan 2005). Patent rights affect the process of cumulative innovation by knowledge
spillovers which they have to disclose information about patent – it lies at the heart of the recent

Examining organisational change, we can see that it is the transformation and development within an
organization which includes the structure, work methods, or work culture. It is when people attain "new
behavior" in order to adapt to their environment (Pullen, 1993). This occurs because there may be some
adjustments which leave many businesses no choice but to change; for example, adjustments in consumer
demands, legal factors, economy, and competitors. A major aspect which triggers change is organisational
innovation. According to McWilliams (2013, p.111), innovation is being able to put into place new creative
ideas. To put this into context, we are going to use technology as a model to help better understand the
elements of change and ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
This results in an introduction of a dominant design; the most popular choice amongst customers. If the
dominant design becomes a success, it may create a technological lockout, where companies may find it
extremely strenuous to sell their products, or it may result in incremental change. Incremental change
consists of improving the dominant design, and when the organization forms new ideas (innovate) on how to
better improve and manufacture the product.
Technology has a life cycle. Initially, a new technology is introduced and this is a result of organisational
innovation. When the cycle concludes, technology is therefore replaced by a more up–to–date technology.
According to McWilliams (2013, p.111), vast amounts of research were conducted to propose that many
technology cycles are based on the "S–curve patthern of innovation". It is a model which depicts how new
technology replaces old technology. The S–curve can also be understood by innovation streams. Innovation
streams go into further depth about the different stages the life cycles of technologies. As previously

23. The Environment Of An Organization
Introduction
Understanding the environment that encompasses an association that is vital to the executives accountable
for the associations. There are a few reasons behind why understanding the environment is important. First,
the environment provides resources that an organization needs in order to create goods and services. In the
seventeenth century, British writer John Donne broadly noticed "no man is an island." Similarly, it is exact to
say that no association is independent. As the human body must devour oxygen, nourishment, and water, an
organization needs to take in resources, such as, work, cash, and crude materials from outside its limits. An
association can 't make due without the backing of its surroundings. Second, the environment is a place of
opportunities and threats for an organization. Managers must also realize that almost any environmental
movement is possible to create opportunities for some organizations and threats for others. Officials should
likewise understand that for all intents and purposes any ecological pattern or occasion is liable to make
open doors for a few associations and dangers for others. Third, the environment forms the numerous
strategic decisions that manager's make as they try to lead their organizations to success. Nature regularly
puts vital limitations on an association 's objectives, for instance, a firm that sets an objective of expanding

* Rate of technological change: It is important for a company to identify the effects of change on the
company's current products and services. It is vital for the company to change the technology used to keep
up or stay ahead of the pack on a continual bases. According to Davila, Epstein, and Shelton (2006),
"Internal factors are not the only formative forces; external forces can also shape the innovation strategy" (p.
77). Making aware of the internal and external factors can help to update and improve the innovation
strategies the company uses. If the factors are made aware and followed, the factors will work hand–in–hand
to support the company through the design and planning process of the innovation strategies. Equally
important to the innovation process are the factors related to the innovation systems design. Factors that are
analyzed include the creative phase, execution phase, and creation stage. In the creative stage, ideas come
together for everyone to discuss. Next the innovation systems design will lead to the execution stage. During
this stage, management will discuss and decide which idea will be the best to benefit and support the mission
and principles of the company. Once a decision has been accomplished, the company moves to the creation
stage. At this point, every detail will become compiled into the functions of daily business.

national innovation system on economic growth. Given the growing empirical evidences supporting the
positive effect of innovation on economic growth (Hulya Ulku, 2007; Yanrui Wu, 2012) we control for other
factors that influences long run growth and generalize the specification of a growth equation that accounts
for the effects of national innovation system on economic growth. Thus, in deriving our empirical model for
estimating this relationship for BRICS, we posit that: ln(Yit) = α + β1 ln(UEit)+ β2 ln(RDit) + β3 ln(TMit) +

Introduction
Technology has always played a major role in business growth and development. Its application has risen at
an unimaginable rate among enterprises. The resultant effect is that organizations continuously experience
innovation resulting from technological advances. The assimilation of technology promotes modifications in
organizational processes, tasks, and the nature of work. The technology–driven changes bring about an
increase in the number of people using technological devices such as computers to perform tasks.
Technological advancements tremendously affect employee 's morale, nature of tasks, and impacts
interactions among co–workers. The managers of technological changes need to play both the roles of
implementers and technical developers. The introduction of technology to an organization comes with a vast
array of challenges to the management.
Most of the changes in the marketplace are driven by technological advancements. Technological
innovations in the marketplace are categorized into two, namely: sustaining and disruptive innovations.
Innovations that do not significantly impact the existing markets are defined as sustaining innovations.
Disruptive innovations, on the other hand, are innovations that result into a new market and value network.
They disrupt existing markets and value networks. Whether sustaining or disrupting, businesses are
supposed to anticipate change and prepare in advance. Appropriate action is required to deal with changing

Core Competence
The business world today is characterized by extreme competence. Clients are going for super made goods
and services. They want to feel the value for their money. In this regard, the idea of core competence
emerged. Fundamentally, core competence refers to an organization's strengths that make it ahead of other
organizations and these strengths make it possible for the company to add value to its end products through
innovation (Prajogo & Ahmed, pp.499–515). Through the concept of core competence companies are able to
concentrate on what they are best gifted in and outsource what they cannot do. This ensures that the products
they produce cannot be copied easily be competitors. Because of the competence, the skill can be used
diversely to develop different products and greatly add value.
Core competence is very vital in innovation because it is a defining aspect for the introduction,
implementation, sustenance and success of innovate ideas (Prajogo & Ahmed, pp.499–515). Through core
competence, a company is capable of shaping innovative ideas at an angle that will take competitors many
years to copy and institute. For example, through the spirit of Kaizen, a company is able to institute a culture
of continual innovation which is aligned to the ideologies of core competence. Each business organization
wants to have brands that command the market and the only way to make this happen is by using innovation.

Question 3
3D Printing: Technological Roadmap to the Future
Introduction
An aspect of technological innovation is to ensure that the technology can be viewed with a goal of
developing it and ensuring that value is continuously added (Phaal et al., 2004). It is with this view that a
technology roadmap can be developed for 3D printing ensuring that key milestones can be achieved and a
correct organisational strategy can be planned. These milestones are important as once these milestones have
been passed, the readiness is advanced and future innovations can be focused on, further developing and
innovating the technology. These are the key ideas involved in the development of the 3D Printing
Technological Road Map (see question 2 roadmap). There is evidence that a technological road map is
highly important, even critically important in the development and management of a technology (Phaal et
al., 2004; Haan, 2012). The roadmap should be treated as an important tool, to be used in the planning of key
technical objectives and milestones, increasing the likelihood of succeeding to reach a suitable level of
readiness to capitalise on the invention/innovation.
Road mapping for Open Innovation
3D printing has embraced open innovation from an early point in the lifecycle. An example of this open
innovation has come from RepRap, an open source innovation project with the goal to rapidly distribute 3D

It's important for an innovation system that knowledge can diffuse from one company to another, especially
in a heterogeneous context. It can be measured by number of workshops, conferences and mapping size of
the network.
Guidance of the search
Due to limited resources, companies have to choose what they want to develop and investigate. The things
they choose are the things of which they think it can positively change their processes. This function can be
measured by mapping the specific targets of firms, companies and governments.
Market formation
It's almost impossible for new technologies to compete directly from the beginning with incumbent
technologies. Therefore these new technologies need niche markets or (governmental) subsidies to exist.
This function can be measured by the number of niche markets and the number of subsidies.
Resource mobilization
There are financial and human inputs necessary to make the other functions working properly. It is hard to
measure this function, the best way is to interview different actors and institutions.
Creation of legitimacy/counteract resistance to change
Often when there is a new technologie an old one has to be overthrown. This can be measured by mapping
the growth and lobby actions of investment groups.

these foreign MNCs. Thus Singapore followed a dependent ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
One important issue is the relative underdevelopment in local technological and marketing capability. The
success of a national innovation system depends on the effectiveness of two things: (i) the deployment of
new technologies and (ii) the development or creation of new technologies. The dependent strategy has led
Singapore to focus more on the deployment and diffusion of technology by leveraging on large foreign
high–tech MNCs, rather than fostering technological development by local enterprises. The development of
new technology in the MNC headquarters and its transfer to their subsidiaries in Singapore has only been a
major source of technological upgrading in Singapore, rather than indigenous research and development.
(Wong, 2000). According to Low (2000), the innovative capacity and culture of Singapore had to be
nourished, apart from the efforts of the government in creating a conducive business environment
Developing the national innovation system using the dependent strategy can shift the government's focus to
creating more incentives for MNCs, rather than the domestic firms. Local small and medium enterprises

When exploring Europe, Medieval Europe comes to mind. During the Medieval times, the people began to
take on changes. Growth and recovery became major during these times, especially agriculturally. Weather
patterns, society, technological innovations, and agriculture all play important roles to each other. When

sought media through which they would serve their clients more cost–effectively as well as increase the
utility to their clientele. Their main concern has been to serve clients more conveniently, and in the process
increase profits and competitiveness. Electronic and communications technologies have been used
extensively in banking for many years to advance agenda of banks
In Ghana, the earliest forms of electronic and communications technologies used were mainly office
automation devices. Telephones, telex and facsimile were employed to speed up and make more efficient,
the process of servicing clients. For decades, they remained the main information and communication
technologies used for transacting bank business.
